I saw Sleep No More over the weekend. It was amazing and I want to go back. (Of course I'm in Los Angeles, which will make that hard)

My question, who does MacBeth fight/kill in the bar with the pool table? I freely admit I don't know the story of MacBeth as well as I should. Even if I did, I'm not sure it would help.

Thanks!

Banquo, the man whose sons are prophesied to take over the Scottish throne by the witches.
That was my favorite scene! I stuck around long enough to see his ghost come back to collect his jacket from the pool table--looking shocked to find his own murder weapon beneath it-- before he went to haunt the banquet.

I also saw it this week, and have to admit that Sleep No More made my top 3 favorite shows of all time (343 total). I expected to enjoy this playground, but never expected it to make me re-examine how I perceive theatre! What a trip! I liken Sleep No More to para-sailing to the netherworld...an intriguing theatrical immersion. Even without knowing Macbeth, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Thanks! Hopefully it will continue to have a long run and still be running in a year or so whenver I get back to the Big Apple.
